Zoom in and look, there's nothing custom about these cars. They're standard mass-produced models. Only the decal application is unique. I might go along with $3-$5 each for less than 1,000 but that's about it. The packaging cost multiples of the car inside for sure.

Looks like 6 different car models with two decal schemes apiece for a total of 12 cars. I see two of the Lamborghini model and two of the Charger model that I recognize immediately and I'm not even a car guy.

#1 and #7 are the same, #2 and #8, #3 and #9, #4 and #10, #5 and #11, #6 and #12.

Being a cheapskate scammer actually benefits EVS in this case with tariffs.

Here's a pic of Coom's actual car from that race that this was supposedly modelled after. Not even close. The toy is a Dodge Charger knockoff. Maybe if you squint hard enough they're close?

I just found a listing on Alibaba with 4 of the 6 models. The other two are probably in the other pics as well. Available in small batches too. 1:56 scale so I was wrong about 1:64.

At least people knew he was gay and he was respected by people all over the political/sexual spectrum.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=NmsRlOPhBqMWhy would I want to give fantastic 4 a chance when clearly they have no idea what made the fantastic 4 work. Human torch is a ladies man, dude slept with both the thing's & Dr Doom's partners, they don't have to include those storylines but there's nothing wrong with having a dude in his late teens/early twenties being a ladies man.

They lost me when they made Grimm shorter than Reed. I'm fed up with this world! If it's passable it would surprise me but not really because I no longer expect any Sue-per Her-o Moo-vie to be any good. Chicken Jockey for all I care, but if we can get some choice memes out of it I'll be happy.

So if all these come out, that will mean he's released more action figures and toy cars than he ever will in CG comic books before he croaks.

Grimm is only supposed to be 6 ft tall in the comics while Reed Richards is 6’1 so it checks out. I’m questioning why the hell is Pedro Pascal playing Reed Richards. Talking about a miscast!

At least Johnny Storm didn’t get race swapped again.

Can anyone point me to when diversity in comics aka comics matter aka ya Boi Zack did a 180 on his politics? Last time I watched him he seemed to have the opposite stance of everything in this video. I stopped watching him after his 2nd Jawbreaker book because I hated it so much.

I always thought 6' was his human base height. I could see the tribute to Kirby but... 6' is too small for a mass-strength character. I always put Thing at 6'6 or 6'7, about the same as She-Hulk but I never followed the FF except for random appearances.

It might be like how Wolverine was always drawn taller than he was supposed to be because even a super pumped guy at 5'3 isn't going to look all that great next to his other peak condition compadres. Wolvie's height reduction was normally due to deliberate techniques to mask it: extreme poses or being placed on a lower level than those on the same panel. Thing though had pretty decent height adjustment on panel if not on paper by the time the 90s hit from the limited amount I saw as a kid. But oh well. That's what I get for being a casual!

Wish they were as slavish to the old designs for Silver Surfer...

Most of his ESG videos from above, such as this one:
1744980193285.webp
from 2 years ago were when I first started to notice it, like when he would do videos defending Kathleen Kennedy.

He got really angry at people complaining about Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and Furiosa later. He then felt like Ed Piskor's death was the excuse to go completely mask off, for some reason, but he was heading down this path already.

I’d say it started when he settled the lawsuit with Mark Waid. That’s when he started posting stuff about not caring if old customers don’t buy his comics anymore because new customers will come in to replace them.

Unfortunately, these comments make me think Zack has a hardcore following of credulous weirdos and there are a lot more of them than I thought there were.

He has like 50 followers left that aren't banned from commenting. Anyone who wants to comment on one of his videos that isn't a legit ass kisser better make an account per post/video. Of the commenters I clipped I only recognize one youtuber 2ndStreetMarvel from the low level "Fandom Rejects" type streams years ago. I saw a lot of default ID names so could be quickly made accounts.

What type of audience is he even going for? Retaining only his most hardcore simps while perhaps picking up defective SJW?

Some pinned moments in demoralization were dropping the Waid suit, his porno appearance getting rediscovered, and Piskor's suicide. It really accelerated during the latest Trump campaign where Richard started going at Republicans and other youtubers on his side. I think @FROG going full retard against Eric July around the beginning of last year influenced him also.

Fleetwood speaks the truth. I got tossed oh so many years ago during the Tom King/Jae Lee situation. YBZ said King gave a good apology, I said that's ridiculous because King should've minded his own business that way he wouldn't have had to apologize. And that was it for me.

Piskor's death really bothered him. As it should have, it's what those people wanted for him, Ethan, etc. What I don't get is what does that have to do with FNT, G&G, and Drinker.

That reminds me of something. I got banned for asking Zack "Do you wish you were one of the zeros?" This was before "BPC" I'm pretty sure it was a video after AZ fucking pronouns rant Sept 2023 so cracks in Zack were forming already back then. I think Cartoonist Kayfabe was giving him a relatively healthy alternative to consuming Scivergate content and when Piskor died he went right back to Ethan. Going at Drinker was Richard's try at having his own personal Eric July. A colleague he heel turned on. But now Zack is just another anti-Eric July guy. Sad.

edit: it may have been even before then
There is an early video in his current style from Feb 20 2023 :
WITHOUT RESPECT, WE REJECT- Black-Pilled Critics Who Disregard Improvement Are WORSE Than SJWs
https://youtu.be/2uPDMBGHSl0
When you go this far back in his timeline there are still anti-sjw type videos but over time it becomes all anti grift tuber.

He dosen't even mention Piskor anymore. When at least 2 comics pros brought him up on the anniversary of his death Zack said nothing.

I think he's just siding with @FROG

I don't remember when it was but EJ talked about putting his youtube channel as low priority to focus on the comicbook business. Zack praised him and stopped youtubing to focus on fulfilling his late campaigns. He lasted a month and when he came back, he started snipping at "anti-sjw youtuber"
Click to expand...

I'm not sure he even lasted a month. I think I recall him doing videos again about 3 weeks in saying he's at the point where he's done what he can do and has to wait for people to get back to him. So it makes no sense to stop doing videos.

Piskor killed himself in April; the Zeroes were already having misgivings about the Furiosa trailer by then. The less than stellar release of the film the following month gave them more fodder to crap on.

They just caught Zack still in a dark place it seems.
